Some campuses serve kids with disabilities, but private schools can turn away children based on their special needs.
Some representatives are leaning toward the approach for children with disabilities.would give parents of those students at least $7,250 a year toward education. The money could be used on private school tuition, transportation, technology and textbooks, among other things. Anything left over could be put toward higher education.
“I am taking that away from how are they going to eat after I die? Who is going to take care of them?” he said.Critics warned that special needs students who switch to private schools would lose key legal protections, and could face discrimination as those with higher needs may be denied services as private schools.
More than 700,000 students now receive special education services in Texas public schools, and it’s not clear how many of them would be able to take advantage of a new ESA program.Rep. Gina Hinojosa, an Austin Democrat who sits on the House education committee, said the state is underfunding special education “to the tune of $2 billion annually.”
For most of her daughter’s life, the family paid tuition and fees. If an education savings account had been around to cut down costs, “the funds could’ve been saved for her future,” Battalora said. “When asked if they would serve additional students with special needs if they applied, 35% said yes and 54% said maybe,” according to an association memo.
Also important to leaders at Notre Dame is that any government-funded program doesn’t interfere with their ability to proudly discuss their faith.
